The current betting odds have Clemson listed as a 22 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Clemson has looked really good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall. They looked terrible in their season opener, losing to Georgia in a blow out, but they have looked great since then with 2 wins by double digits. The offense has exploded in these games too and they will be looking to carry over that momentum into this one. Meanwhile, Stanford has also looked good in their games this season with their 2-1 record overall and their 1-0 conference record. They are coming off their first conference win in the ACC, beating Syracuse on the road last week, but that was also a game that they had 2 weeks to prepare for. Now they are on the road again with another tough travel, coming from the other side of the country, and this time they are getting a much stronger team that still considers themselves a threat to win the ACC this year. Syracuse struggled at times against the Stanford defense last week, but Clemson's offense won't have that problem at home with the way they have been putting up points lately. Clemson has been on a mission since losing their season opener to Georgia and they are not going to slow down for Stanford here. The best way to place a bet here is on Clemson to cover the spread in this game.
